Stone inlay defines this bracelet, the mosaic of colored stone set into metal that was one of the techniques closely identified with Los Castillo, here carried onto a wearable band. The inlaid stone supplies both the pattern and the color (Morrill, p. 206).
The Castillo brothers founded their Taxco workshop in 1939, where stone inlay was a deep tradition across jewelry and objects alike. A stone-inlaid bracelet reaches the market only occasionally.
